NTIG_CR03_01.2016: Geographic Data Model of Costa Rica, Scales 1:1,000, 1:5,000 and 1:25,000 Presentation I am pleased to present the Technical Standard for Geographic Information of Costa Rica (NTIG_CR03) denominated Geographic Data Model of Costa Rica, Scales 1:1,000, 1:5,000 and 1:25,000, version of January 2016, which allows us to operationalize the geographic objects described in the Catalog of Geographic Objects for Fundamental Data of Costa Rica, in a geospatial database; its coding is derived from the standard NTIG_CR02_01_2016.
We hope that the geographic data model is an instrument that allows providing technical information on geospatial data for the production and publication of geospatial information in our country. It is aligned with the requirements of the Sistema Nacional de Información Territorial (SNIT), as well as with the technical considerations defined by the Instituto Geográfico Nacional as fundamental elements.
From the geographic perspective, whether with respect to producers, managers and/or users of information, metadata is currently characterized by a connection with geospatial data and information, in alignment as part of the fundamental regulations required within the context of a geospatial data infrastructure.
In this way, the geographic data model is of great importance for persons and organizations, both public and private, that use and produce geospatial data, to find the data they need, determine the best way to use them and have the adequate tool for their production.
The Geographic Data Model of Costa Rica, Scales 1:1,000, 1:5,000 and 1:25,000 has its origin in the exercise of fulfilling the legal competencies of the Instituto Geográfico Nacional in matters of standardization, generation and standardization of geospatial information. This first version is an initiative that will facilitate the exchange of inter-institutional information, in addition to promoting in a precise and orderly manner the dissemination and use of geographic data. Our position is inclusive and open regarding the contributions of the producer, manager and user community of geospatial information at the national level.
In addition, the definition and dissemination of this document is in accordance with the guidelines established in Decree No. 37773-JP-H-MINAE-MICITT (La Gaceta No. 134 of July 12, 2013), through which the Sistema Nacional de Información Territorial (SNIT) is officially created as an instrument for the production, publication, regulation and standardization of geospatial information in our country. Through the SNIT, the IGN is promoting the generation of georeferenced geographic products, services and information of national, regional and local coverage, and the publication in an integrated and georeferenced manner of territorial information produced by public entities and bodies, as well as by natural or legal persons, and the homologation of geospatial information standardized within the framework of a common spatial data infrastructure.
The SNIT is a very important step in the process of consolidating the Spatial Data Infrastructure of Costa Rica (Infraestructura de Datos Espaciales de Costa Rica, IDECORI), which is defined as the set of policies, organizations, standards and technologies that work together to produce, share and use the geographic information necessary to support the country's development in various areas.

Introduction While this instrument has been developed as a requirement for orthophoto production and cartography projects, its scope of application is not limited to the creation and implementation of geographic databases by the Instituto Geográfico Nacional and the National Registry, but also to other institutions and organizations involved in the production of geographic data at the national level.
This data model works jointly with the catalog of fundamental objects, having as a connection point between both documents the particular code for each geographic object in a more structured and homogenized way. This allows us to achieve with certainty a higher quality thereof, by having understanding and clarity in each of its definitions, descriptions of the different types of objects, attributes, domains and relationships, which also provides us with savings in both economic resources and processing time.
This technical standard allows the user and producer of cartography to determine the method of capture or photogrammetric restitution of the different geographic objects from the orthophoto; be they relief features such as contour lines, rivers, vegetation cover, coastal features, among others; as well as infrastructure such as buildings of different types or the road network.
2. Background This geographic data model has its genesis in the exercise of fulfilling the legal competencies of the Instituto Geográfico Nacional, in matters of standardization of geospatial information; this first version is an initiative that will facilitate the exchange of inter-institutional information, in addition to promoting in a precise and orderly manner the dissemination and use of geographic data.
The geographic data model of Costa Rica, for scales 1:1,000, 1:5,000 and 1:25,000, constitutes the first version of the official data model for the production, homologation and standardization of geospatial databases, published on the platform of the Sistema Nacional de Información Territorial and consequently for the Infraestructura Nacional de Datos Espaciales de Costa Rica (IDECORI).
3. General Provisions 3.1 Nomenclature and Name of the Technical Standard NTIG_CR03_01.2016: Geographic Data Model of Costa Rica, Scales 1:1,000, 1:5,000 and 1:25,000 3.2 Purpose This Technical Standard aims to provide the necessary elements to model a real-world phenomenon in 2D or 3D format, as well as to identify the geometry of the geographic object within a database according to the representation scale of the spatial reality. The description of the geospatial information Capture format, as well as its geometry and capture method may be applied to three different scales: 1:1000, 1:5000 and 1:25000.
3.3 Scope of Application This Technical Standard is of mandatory observance. The application and interpretation of this Technical Standard, for administrative and technical purposes, shall correspond to the Instituto Geográfico Nacional, which shall resolve cases not foreseen by it and shall ensure its updating as appropriate.
3.4 Reach The Technical Standard NTIG_CR03_01.2016: Geographic Data Model of Costa Rica, Scales 1:1,000, 1:5,000 and 1:25,000, constitutes a general reference framework on the minimum requirements that must be observed by officials and users of the Instituto Geográfico Nacional, and in general, the public sector (Branches of the Republic, autonomous and semi-autonomous institutions, entities attached to autonomous institutions, state public enterprises, non-state public enterprises, non-state public entities, entities administering public funds, municipalities and attached municipal bodies), private sector, natural persons and the general public, producer, manager and user, to operationalize the geographic objects described in the Catalog of Geographic Objects for Fundamental Data of Costa Rica, in a geospatial database; its codification is derived from the standard NTIG_CR02_01_2016: Catalog of Fundamental Geographic Objects of Costa Rica.
3.5 Technical Approval and Officialization The Technical Standard for Geographic Information denominated NTIG_CR03_01.2016: "Geographic Data Model of Costa Rica, Scales 1:1,000, 1:5,000 and 1:25,000", was technically approved at fourteen hundred hours on January 12, 2016, as recorded through official communication No. DIG-0012-2016 of that same date, signed by MSc. Max A. Lobo Hernández, Director of the Instituto Geográfico Nacional, and it is officialized through the publication of Directive DIG-003-2016 of the Instituto Geográfico Nacional of January 12, 2016 in the Official Gazette La Gaceta.
3.6 Obligatory Nature The provisions contained in this Directive and respective Technical Standard are of mandatory compliance.
3.7 Effectiveness This Technical Standard takes effect upon the publication of Directive DIG-003-2016 of January 12, 2016 in the Official Gazette La Gaceta.
4. Geographic Data Model This section develops in detail the data model for the different geographic objects; various tables corresponding to the themes of the catalog of geographic objects are included. The structure of the tables presents a column for the themes, another for the object code, a small description of each one, and in the following columns the geometry for the three scales is included, and finally and of great importance, the capture method of said object from an orthophoto or orthoimage is described.
5. Final Considerations It is necessary to indicate that the number of geographic objects established in the object catalog is greater than the number of geographic objects included in the data model, since the latter has been designed based on the needs of the various contracting processes for orthophoto and cartography production projects, which are required in their entirety by the National Registry, and specifically by the Registro Inmobiliario (scales 1:1,000 and 1:5,000) and the Instituto Geográfico Nacional (1:25,000). Therefore, it is not ruled out that in the future it may need to be institutions.
